<br />
Things have been busy so I thought I'd take a moment and write a post about it all. On September 17th, after more than a year of planning, I got married.<br />

It was the craziest, most emotional day of my life thus far and I pretty much remember none of it...which is why I'm so grateful for photos.<br />
<br />
Since June 2015 (when I got engaged), I've also been working on a book titled WHEN STARS COME OUT. I've written a million drafts and just finished one I'm pretty happy with. I've been going to conferences and talking to editors and agents. I'm hoping to edited this book to perfection and then query...oh, and also start work on Cannon!<br />
<br />
Love,<br />
<br />
Ashley<br />

Fun news, guys! Nicole Singer and I are starting a book review and reading blog! While we both love (and will continue) our writing blogs, we also wanted a site where we could fan out as readers. And we figured you might too!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The result is <a href="http://www.booksfantasyfandom.wordpress.com/">Books. Fantasy. Fandom.</a> (Or, BFF for those who like clever acronyms.) </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On the site, you’ll find: </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Weekly reviews of fantasy books across all ages </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Friday Fandom posts about our favorite fandoms on the large and small screen </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Q&As with authors like Kate Elliott, KA Stewart and more. </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Categories and tags that help you find reviews in our archives (even tricky finds like “YA for boys”) </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Our review policy in case you’ve got something you think we’d love! </li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As you can probably tell by the number of exclamation points, we’re really excited about BFF and hope you are too!! In fact, we hope you’re so excited you’ll spread the word and stop by to enjoy. We can’t wait to share our favorite books and new reads with you!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
And that's when he proposed! </div>

He handed me a copy of The Lord of the Rings: </div>

<br />
<br />
Barren Reed hopes to protect the Orient from his tyrant uncle, but his plans to make the King’s life a living hell aren’t supported by the Elders of the pirate community. As it stands, Barren has earned the Elders’ disdain for his carelessness, and they threaten him into exile if he makes one more mistake.<br />
<br />
Barren’s not the only one feeling the Elders’ wrath—they don’t trust Larkin either. Worse, Barren can’t comprehend Larkin’s wish to have a relationship with her father, and the secrets she’s forced to keep create a tension that may pull them apart forever. <br />
<br />
When the Pirates of Silver Crest begin to die, bullets laced with dark magic are to blame. With more and more of these weapons infiltrating the Underground, discovering who’s behind the dissemination is no easy feat. As fear and tension mount among the people of the Orient, Barren and his crew find themselves in a race against time to stop the spread of dark magic before the world of Mariana spirals into collapse. <br />

<i><b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Early Praise for FLINTLOCK: </span></b></i><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“If you enjoy YA fantasy, you definitely need this series in your hands right now. Especially if you like YA fantasy with well-rounded characters, gorgeous writing, some of the best world-building I've read, and an exciting plot.” – Ashley, The AP Book Club</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">"After reading CUTLASS, I couldn’t wait to see where Ashley Nixon took the series. With the release of FLINTLOCK, the answer is: bigger, broader and even more fun! The book grows seamlessly into the full scope and vibrancy of Nixon’s world. The stakes are higher, the stage is wider, and the friendships we came to love in CUTLASS are tested in new and devious ways. Nixon balances the allure of ships, sailing and pirate battles with a growing threat of magic and the politics of both the mortal and immortal worlds. I will definitely be back for Book 3!" – Nicole Singer, Write Me A World</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">"Well done, Ashley, Well done! I can’t recommend this series enough for Young Adults and Adults, if you want something different with a strong handsome male, kick ass female and an amazing fantasy story, this is totally the book for you." – Michelle, Because Reading is Better Than Real Life </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">"I enjoyed Flintlock immensely. Everything Ashley wrote fitted perfectly together, the characters, the world… Everything was just perfect. To top it all of Ashley her writing style is really addictive and I found it impossible to put this book down. I would highly recommend this book and it’s prequel to everyone. Especially if you are a fan of Young Adult fantasy than this is a series that you have to read." – Elien, So Bookalicious!</span><br />

<br />
YES. I'm posting on my blogger account. There's a whole dilemma with the WordPress Account that I don't really feel like fixing. haha.<br />
<br />
So. I have tons of announcements.<br />
<br />
FLINTLOCK is slated to release MAY 25, 2015.<br />
<br />
You can sign up for the blog tour (running the May 25th-31st) <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1P7tO_wZb5PCclxLxZ08fk5H6ILtZ5EHmnSEyLVZqrsg/viewform?c=0&w=1">HERE</a><br />
You can join my release party for FLINTLOCK <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/492371664237425/">HERE</a><br />
You can request an ARC <a href="http://xpressobooktours.com/2015/04/14/review-opportunity-flintlock-by-ashley-nixon/">HERE</a><br />
<br />
I will have a second tour running from June 1-5th, if the May 25th-31st dates do not work for anyone. I'll post that link when I have it.<br />
<br />
The first book in my next series NACOMA KNIGHT is up on GoodReads! You can add it <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/25366900-nacoma-knight">HERE</a>.<br />
<br />
<b>Here is the blurb:</b><br />
<br />
Anora Silby wants her mother alive again. She’d do anything to feel her touch, hear her voice, and understand the strange circumstances surrounding her death. So when the new kid, Thane Treadway, offers outlandish answers, Anora listens. <br />
<br />
Thane believes Anora’s mother had her soul stolen by the Cercatore di Anime, a race of soul eaters. It isn’t until Thane starts forgetting things and having random outbursts of anger that Anora begins to wonder if Thane has personal experience with the Cercatore. <br />
<br />
Anora’s search for answers leads her into the center of a mid-world battle between good and evil—the soul and the soulless. Not only that, she is the Eurydice, the only one of her kind who can enter and exit spirit. Her gift makes her a target, and soon Anora finds herself faced with the loss of her mother or the love of her life. <br />
<br />
Can Anora see past her grief long enough to make a decision or will she lose everything?<br />
<b>NACOMA will release October 31, 2015!</b><br />
<br />
<br />
Lastly, here's a cool DWTS Pirates of the Caribbean dance! I love it!<br />
<br />

<br /></div>
<br />
Also, I'm officially putting my MLIS degree to work today as I start a new job as an IS assistant for my public library system! I'm excited and nervous and all that jazz.<br />
<br />
Hope everyone has a great day!!<br />
<br />
Love,<br />

Isn't it beautiful?! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">

As it stand</span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="color: #141823; display: inline; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">s, Barren has earned the Elders’ disdain for his carelessness, and they threaten him into exile if he makes one more mistake.</span></div>
<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;"><span style="color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span></span></div>

Barren’s not the only one feeling the Elders’ wrath—they don’t trust Larkin either. Worse, Barren can’t comprehend Larkin’s wish to have a relationship with her father, and the secrets she’s forced to keep create a tension that may pull them apart forever.</div>

When the Pirates of Silver Crest begin to die, bullets laced with dark magic are to blame. With more and more of these weapons infiltrating the Underground, discovering who’s behind the dissemination is no easy feat. As fear and tension mount among the people of the Orient, Barren and his crew find themselves in a race against time to stop the spread of dark magic before the world of Mariana spirals into collapse.</div>

I tried to prepare myself for bad reviews, but no matter how much I prepared, the first one still crushed me. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Worse, I found the review at about ten at night and couldn't sleep until four in the morning because I cried so much. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was painful to read. It was hurtful to see something so critical about something I'd worked so hard on. I'd decided to publish my book on my birthday, April 23, which I do not regret at all. But leading up to my birthday, the day of my birthday, and after, most all I could think about were those bad reviews. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's taken me a bit to get to where I am now. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Where am I now?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, I decided that those bad reviews absolutely do not define me or my work. They define another person. All their reviews mean are that my book really isn't their thing. And that's okay. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No, really, it's okay. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You know why? Because for one of those bad reviews, there's an equally awesome good review. And those are the people I write for, and those are the people who respect my work. Those are the people who add value. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First and foremost though, I had to realize the value of my own work. Realize that those bad review do not define me. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That was hard. It still is hard. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All I'm saying is, you're awesome. Your book is awesome because YOU wrote it. Don't let what other say change how you feel about your work or yourself!</div>

<br />
Geez, it is has been a crazy Summer. But, I've been reading! And I wanted to give you an update and some thoughts on the books I did read. I'm not big on writing huge reviews...but a few sentences will help get my point across.<br />
<br />

<h3>
<span style="font-size: large;">THOUGHTS: </span></h3>
<b>THE EXILE QUEEN:</b> This is the second book in the Seven Realms Series. This was a great book. At the end of it, I was sort of like "wait...what happened in this book?" ONLY because it took me so long to read it because I was in school. I love Han and Raisa. I can't wait to see how this series ends because I honestly don't know how Williams will move past the barriers in this world.<br />
<br />
<b>VAMPIRE ACADEMY & FROST BITE: </b>I enjoyed these. Rose was hard to like at first for me only because I'm not like her as a person and I couldn't relate to her. However, I COULD relate to the love she has for her best friend and I admired that so much. I liked how gradual I felt Rose and Dimitri's relationship seemed to develop. In FROST BITE, I will just say that the ending brought tears to my eyes, so any book that does that is good.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>CINDER:</b> I literally read this in like....three hours. I could not but it down. It was such a sweet story, and had all the elements of Cinderalla, only as a CYBORG! It was just really cool, and I can't wait to read Scarlet!<br />

I know, I'm a little behind on both of these, but I'm enjoying them a lot! I'll get back to the Seven Realms Series, but I felt I needed some quick reads. These are perfect!<div>

Have you read any of these? What did you think?<br /><br /></div>

<br />
I have been settling into my new routine with my job and all that, and trying to settle down and really get to work on book 2. I realized that my space wasn't really working for me. I'm really big on space, and if it doesn't feel right, I can't work in it. So I made some changes and this is the result:<br />
<br />

<br />
We found the lantern at the art walk here in norman for $25, all it needed was a new cord! I bought my bookshelf to place all my books on so they weren't stacked on the floor (I already need another one, but that's okay, gives me an excuse to by more books). And I turned my desk around so it wasn't facing the corner. You can't tell, but the curtains are a dark purple, which is my favorite color. I'm going to move the lights up to the crease of the ceiling and wall, and add my diplomas and other things around the room at some point, but I already love the space and feel that it is more inviting and creative!<br />
<br />
Another awesome thing: my book is on the shelf at my local Hastings! It was the coolest experience to go into the bookstore and see my book!<br />
<br />

I'm working on getting it into other bookstores, too. Doesn't CUTLASS look great on that shelf?! And in such a good spot, too!<br />

I've been busy which is no surprise. Mostly, it's just me being busy fitting into a new normal. While I do that, I decided I should share some new books I got, the books I am finishing up, and those I plan to read! Hopefully this can be a weekly thing.<br />
<br />
Anyways, I was at Hasting the other day and picked up these:<br />
<br />

They are SABRIEL, ABHORSEN, and LIRAEL by Garth Nix. <a href="http://www.oldkingdom.com.au/books.html#.U7s2nBYk_1o">Here is a link to a website associated with the books</a>...cause the actual Garth Nix website is being worked on. LOL. Anyways. These look interesting and sounded interesting and I think I will enjoy them.<br />
<br />
I am currently finishing up this book:<br />

<br />
This is THE EXILED QUEEN by Cinda Williams Chima. Have you read her books? Have you visited her website? She's awesome. I love her.<a href="http://www.cindachima.com/"> Go visit her we site. </a><br />
<br />
You know who I also love? Han.<br />
<br />
If you haven't picked up these books, the first one is THE DEMON KING, I suggested you do! It has taken me a long time to read them, only cause I get scared to finish books I love. HAHA.<br />
<br />
The next books on my list to read are:<br />

Well duh. I bet you knew this was coming. And make a note that these should be flip-flopped cause THE GRAY WOLF THRONE is book three and THE CRIMSON CROWN is fourth. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

I know, I've been off the grid. I promise I am working my way back to the blogsphere. I sure do miss the awesome support here.<br />
<br />
I have been getting a job!<br />
<br />
I think my "official" title is Lead Report Editor for a private investigation company. Doesn't that sound fancy and mysterious? I really like my job! I get to write all day, basically. It's not necessarily what I'd be writing at my desk at home, but I think it's going to sharpen both my editing skills and my ability to take critiques.<br />
<br />
I think I'm most excited about the culture. Everyone is the office is so positive and happy. I feel like that's what we all need in our life. People to lift us up, make us feel important. Make us feel valued--all of us writers know what its like to not feel valued, which is why the blogsphere is such a great place to be!<br />
<br />
I've also been working on some promotional things for my book Cutlass like:<br />

<br />
<br />
The Cutlass Street Team! We are NINETEEN members strong! I am so pleased! Everyone involved is such a supporter of Cutlass and I just love hanging with them in the FB group. If anyone would like to join, please do! We love members!<br />
<br />
I'm also working hard on my second book! I've had to get through my TRANSITIONS. There have been so many! First it was publishing my book, then graduating, then moving, and going to London, and then finding a job. But I'm about settled and things are awesome!<br />
<br />
Thanks for visiting everyone!<br />

A little about the trip: We visited SEVERAL places, but the tour did focus on World War II sites. It was absolutely amazing. Some places we could not take pictures of--an example would be parliament. However, inside parliament, there is a door that has damage from a bombing during World War II. Churchill had the door left as is, and the damage is clearly seen. To put the war in perspective, our guide told us that every new building--every glass building or "ugly" (as he put it) building was erected because something was destroyed during the blitz. During the blitz the dome of St. Paul's became a beacon of hope. Here it is at night:<br />

We visited Oxford and got to see where Tolkien studied and taught, as well as C.S. Lewis. C.S. Lewis also has his name in Poet's Corner in Westminster Abbey along with Jane Austin (they are not buried there, however). I did not get a chance to see Tolkien's grave which is about 30 minutes away from Oxford on foot. I will go back and see it, however. </div>

The most meaningful part of the tour for me was seeing the beaches of Normandy the sight of the D-Day invasion. I stood on shores where blood was shed. I walked among the graves of American soldiers. There was a quiet I cannot explain there. The only way you will understand what I'm talking about is to visit Normandy and Omaha beach. We walked upon Pointe du Hoc which is riddled with giant shell holes. They are now covered in the greenest grass. I googled Omaha Beach to look at pictures of the D-Day invasion...the comparison is the most chilling thing I've ever witnessed. </div>

This was an amazing trip and I want to go back badly. There are things I didn't get to see long enough. Like Chartwell, Winston Churchill's home. The gardens were beautiful and I never got to visit his studio. Did you know Churchill was a painter?! I didn't. I wanted to visit more of the Tower of London. While I got to see the Crown Jewels (talk about sparkly), I didn't get to see inside the dungeons. There is definitely a creepiness about the Tower of London. Probably because so many people were beheaded there--including Henry the VIII's wives. I also want to see more of Oxford and Tolkien's grave. Not to mention there were still things in Normandy I wanted to visit, and I could have sat on Omaha beach in the quiet for hours, but alas, we ran out of time. </div>
